'
J will send Forces
WASHINGTON, March 10. President "Wilson today ordered General Fran
.Cisco Villa, murderer of Americans, captured or killed at any cost. Tho United
States' army will undeitnko the task. A punltlvo cxpeditjon, the make-up of
which now Is being considered by tho Wnr Department, will go into Mexico as
toon as possible to get Villa.
This action was decided on at a two hours' session of the Cabinet today.
There waB a unanimity of opinion among tho members picsent that there could
be no further tenipoilzlnf. with tho situation, Villa's action In murdering and
outraging Americans at will had onraged Congress to such un extent that the
President and his advisers decided that ho must be removed as a menace to the
peace of the country. Tho following statement was issud by Secretary to tho
President Tumulty:
"An adequate force will be sent at once In pursuit of Villa with the single
object of capturing him and putting a stop to his forays. This can and will
be done In entirely friendly aid of the constituted authorities in Mexico1, and
with scrupulous respect for the sovereignty of that republic."
SECRKTAltY OF WAR ACTS AT ONCE.
Secretary of AVar Baker went directly from tho Cabinet meeting to his olllco,
where he directed General Scott to preparo the orders for the movement of the
troopsr. It was accepted that the expedition would be a cavalry one, with Infantry
upport, and if the recommendations of the officers familiar with the general
tltuatlon are followed not less than 5000 men will be sent. It vvbh pointed out
at the. War Department that the situation would be peculiarly difficult, and that
postlbly 20,000, and even 50,000 men might yet be needed.
General Frederick Funston, commanding on tho border, has been desig
nated as the conunnnder-ln-chlef of the expedition. At the same time, orders
were telegraphed to all units of the regular army in the United States to bo
ready to move at n moment's notice Tho quartermaster's corps was directed
to arrange for transportation and the like.
The coast artillery will be utilized as infantry it necessary. This will give
IJ.OOOj additional men for tho work on tho border and In old Mexico.
President "Wilson called Senator Stono, chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Commlttoe, on tho telephone, nnd told him what had been done. The
Senator gave his unqualified support, and ngreed to father any legislation that
might be necessary. At the samo tlmo, Representative Flood, chalimau of
the liouse Foreign Affairs Committee, was sent for by Secretary Lansing to
confer, with him on the subject.
EXPEDITION IN ACCORD WITH CARRANZA GOVERNMENT.
Officials were careful to emphasize that the expedition was intended in
Mery day tq uphold tho hands of tho Carranza Government as recognized by
the United Btates. It was admitted that a grave doubt existed, however, ns
to how (he Mexicans would look upon tho matter.
The 111 feeling against the United States has constantly been growing
'throughout Mexico, and there were many officials and military experts who
Relieved that the Carranzlstas and Villistas would unlto to opposo the United
States; troops. The men holding these viows and they Included some of the
leading statesmen here Insisted that they were convinced that the United
Btates would have to pacify all Mexico and create a government there that
Wild be upheld.
General Scott, who knows Villa and tho Mexicans well, made no secret of
Ms fears that the action of the United States might be misunderstood. He
declared that no chances could be taken with the troops that are sent after
Villa, but that they must be supported by artillery and Infantry, bo that If the
'orst comes to tho worst they wlllVbe able to maintain their positions until an
equate, force can be thrown Into the field.
FLEET ORDERED TO BE IN READINESS.
Although every effort was made to keep the matter secret, It was learned
that both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets had been ordered to be ready for any
contingency,
At least 5000 troops will form the original force that will match Into Mexico,
It was stated at the War Denartment. The force which nrobablv will bs needed
1 set General Villa will number approximately 8000 men. The expedition will
onsUt chiefly of Infantry, There -will be, however, at least 1000 to 2000 cavalry.
